Arabic metadata localization reviewer at MidLocalize, adapting Netflix entertainment content with cultural precision.

At MidLocalize, I reviewed English-to-Arabic media and entertainment metadata, translating and revising complex content into natural, culturally resonant Arabic.

As Senior Translator at MidLocalize, I researched terminology, local idioms, and cultural references to localize Netflix shows, movies, and episodic titles authentically.

Earlier, I translated Netflix synopses and promotional metadata, collaborating with senior reviewers and project managers to resolve linguistic queries and refine translations for Arabic audiences.

My work also includes contributing to an agricultural book translation and subtitling a TEDx talk. I’m fascinated by etymology and linguistics, and I bring together careful research, cultural accuracy, and modern localization tools.
